Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a non-surgical breakthrough skin treatment for banishing acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines. It uses thin, microscopic needles to activate production of collagen and elastin, the two compounds primarily responsible for beautiful, youthful looking skin. Microneedling patients enjoy the fullness and volume that is achieved without any incisions, anesthesia or downtime.

Our microneedling treatment is perfect for anyone who wishes to improve their skin’s youthfulness and vitality. Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and may benefit clients with clogged pores, acne scars, blemishes, and marks, clients with hollowness in the face, clients who don’t suffer from skin infections or dermal conditions, and clients wishing to improve the elasticity of their skin.
Most dermal treatments need to be customized to suit different skin types to prevent chances of pigmentation and marks. However, this is not the case with microneedling. The microneedling procedure follows the same principles of acupuncture and is designed to suit all skin types including dark skin. This treatment does not use any chemical peels or topical ointments to provide the desired result. Instead, a device with tiny needles is used to make tiny punctures on the skin, promoting the skin to rejuvenate and heal itself through the production of new collagen and elastin. When fresh collagen and elastin are produced by the skin, sun damage, pigmentation, acne scars, and stretch marks are naturally healed, and skin appears more youthful.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that offers long-lasting results within days. Since no chemicals are used to treat the skin, chances of allergies, infections, injuries and skin damage are minimal.
Considering that the microneedling procedure is a cosmetic treatment, patients should be aware that they may experience minor swelling, bleeding and bruising post-treatment. These symptoms will reduce and disappear within a few days after the procedure.
Your skin may feel raw and itchy for a few hours after the treatment. This occurs as a result of the swelling in the open pores of the skin. The pores will close within 90 minutes of the treatment, significantly reducing the swelling and itchiness on the face. Your skin should go back to normal within 12 to 48 hours after the procedure.
Microneedling clients may experience some redness as a result of the procedure, comparable to a sunburn. This usually heals within the first week and is no cause for alarm. Proper aftercare products will remedy any discomfort, and makeup can be worn to help conceal any lingering pinkness. It’s important to avoid the sun after your treatment, and to wear sunblock.
Results will begin to show within 7-10 days in the form of a fresh lovely glow, and the skin tone may continue to improve for up to six months, as new, healthy skin cells are produced.
Microneedling can be repeated more than once, as determined by the practitioner. Typically we suggest six to eight sessions four to six weeks apart, however, with some clients we find that as few as three to four treatment may be enough to dramatically improve the look and feel of the skin. The number of sessions is entirely dependent on the specific condition of each clients skin and their desired result.
Most clients find that Microneedling isn’t very painful, however, depending on your pain threshold, you may experience minor pain. You may opt to apply a topical numbing cream prior to your appointment to decrease any chances of discomfort.
